Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitors in improving ultrafiltration during peritoneal dialysis by reducing glucose absorption from dialysis fluids.
- Experiments on mice and rats with kidney failure showed that SGLTs are involved in glucose diffusion from the dialysate into the bloodstream, but specific SGLT2 inhibitors did not effectively reduce fluid absorption in the rodent model.
- The findings suggest that targeting non-SGLT2 pathways may offer a new approach to enhance ultrafiltration and address complications from high blood glucose levels in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Purpose: To evaluate whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can predict the need for ureteral catheterization in patients with renal colic.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively studied 15,887 patients with renal colic between 2005 and 2019. Patients with prior antibiotics treatment (156), with hematological diseases (15), with negative computerized tomography scan (CTS) for stone disease (473) or with no available laboratory findings (1750) were excluded.
Introduction: Secondary retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) due to pelvic radiation alone or together with pelvic surgery is one of the causes of obstructive renal failure. Ureteral obstruction is caused by ischemic stricture and encasement by fibrotic tissue. Endo-ureterotomy alone, without vascular supply, is not successful in these cases.

Introduction: The articulated Endo GIA stapler has proven itself as an important addition to the technical armamentarium of radical cystectomy (RC) [1]. RC in female patients is technically more challenging than in males, especially when improved functional results and life quality issues, such as vaginal preservation and nerve sparing, are pursued. Additionally, the use of the endo stapler reduces bleeding in female cystectomy [1].

Patients And Methods: We performed a prospective study of patients with mRCC who received targeted therapy in the Soroka Medical Center between 2013 and 2015.
